I heard about Vertu back in 2002. Back then (and until now), they're touted as the cellphone of the millionaires. I only first got to see them sa HK and now they're here in Cebu (Audionet). But the ones being sold are the cheapest pa
The signature models and the special edition models of this Nokia subsidiary phone would cost more than your car! Talk about pricey!
The latest Vertu Special Editon is the Ascent Motorsport Edition (As far as I know)

Gizmodo UK : The Vertu Porsche Boxster Test
Vertu, maker of expensive phones, recently got some credibility handed to them it seems. The company is marketing their Ascent Motorsport Edition, which is an ultra-luxurious phone made with petroleum-resistant automotive leather inlaid with carbon fiber and Liquidmetal—you know, the stuff the future Terminator was made of. In short, it’s strong. So Vertu claimed the phone could be run over by the very car it was based on: an F1 Porsche. So the New York Times called bull and got one of these phones and ran over that thing five times with a Porsche Boxster. Oh, no! What horrible things happened to the expensive Vertu phone, you ask?! Nothing. Nada. Not a scratch. Score one for Vertu.
